“Paula was amazing! She gave us advice on a perfect meeting spot near plenty of parking (since we drove into town) and things continued to go great from there. She was very knowledgeable about the sites and offered a ton of great local advice and recommendations. She was very flexible with us on what we wanted to do, and what would work best with the weather (it was overcast and very foggy so the mountain top sites with panoramic views were limited and she didn’t want us to waste our money paying for entry on some of them, but worked with us so we could still see everything we wanted…”

“The tour was amazing! Our guide, Anthony, was friendly and knowleadgeable. The bikes were a little intimidating at first (im scary with bikes lol), but the guys were great in establishing safety but also fun, which helped calm me. By the end, I was taking one handed videos. Secondly, the landscape itself is just gorgeous. My husband and I love private tours because he loves nature/outdoors so he always wants to stop when he sees something. Anthony stopped and showed us a family of wild donkeys, we were able to get close. That was great. So cliff notes: red rock is gorgeous, Anthony and all the staff were great. Private…”

The hunt takes you all around old town and gives you great insight to the town that you wouldn’t get exploring by yourself. If you’re going in the busy months I recommend to start early, we started at 7:30/8am which was great because it it felt like we had the whole town to ourselves and you’re able to run around and really get into the game without disturbing other tourists. Unfortunately we weren’t able to finish the scavenger hunt as my phone ran out…”
